This delicious rosemary and thyme pork tenderloin is one of my favorite smoker recipes. The homemade raspberry chipotle sauce has the perfect amount of kick and sweetness to really balance out the flavors!

How I created this smoked Rosemary and Thyme Pork Tenderloin with Raspberry Chipotle sauce recipe

I actually have a baked version of this rosemary and thyme pork tenderloin on my site from years ago and I decided with grilling season here I needed to try it in the smoker.  OH MY GOSH! seriously it took a meal I already loved and made it even better!

I’m obsessed with fresh rosemary and thyme and I use them both in a ton of recipes. I’ve thought about adding some garlic to this as well, but I haven’t done it yet. Hard to mess with perfection

We originally used a store bought sauce BUT one month I went to get it and I couldn’t find it anymore. So it was time to figure out how to make it myself! I did a google search and found a few versions online and I started playing around.

To personalize the sauce you can give it more of a kick by adding more chipotle or less. This recipe is the balance we liked best, and taste the most like the sauce we used to buy.

The other thing I like to do is to pure half of the sauce and strain it so the final sauce isn’t so “seedy”. But at the same time I didn’t want to get rid of ALL the berry chunks and seeds because then the sauce is too smooth!

Just take me to the pork tenderloin smoker recipe already!

Can you smoke pork?

Funny enough this is a crazy common question on google! The answer of course is YES! It’s AMAZING. I smoke these tenderloins, but I also love Ribs and Pulled Pork! I’ll have recipes up for them all soon! Let me know what other meats you’d like to see in the smoker!

What is smoked pork tenderloin good with?

The answer is pretty much anything – but here are the sides we usually make!

  • Parmesan Rice – I make it in the rice cooker but it can also be made on the stove
  • Baked Potatoes
  • Spinach Salad
  • Hawaiian Rolls
  • Mac and Cheese
  • Crescent rolls
  • Mushroom Soup

What Temperature do you smoke pork tenderloin at

– You want the smoker between 225 and 240 degrees

– The Cook time is about 2 hours

– You want the meat get to 145 degrees.  I recommend using a meat thermometer the whole time, but checking it when it’s close with the thermapen

To make this smoker recipe you’ll need this smoking equipment

  • Smoker – I am in love with this camp chef smoker!
  • Thermometer – my smoker has a thermometer but I like this instant read to double check as it gets close.
  • Grilling Gloves – I can’t tell you how much I use these silicone gloves to help pick up the hot meat off the smoker
  • Smoking Pellets – you can use any pellet you like but I really like the apple with the pork
  • Herb Mincer – okay not for smoking recipes but I adore this mincer for the rosemary and thyme
